ABSTRACT

Presents an analysis of operated cases of left ventricular diverticulum and review of the literature. Characteristics of muscular diverticulum of the ventricles; First case of ventricular diverticulum described in 1838; Association with other congenital heart diseases.

Aortico-left ventricular tunnel (ALVT) is a very rare congenital anomaly. Noncompaction of the left ventricle or â€œspongy myocardiumâ€ is another rare congenital cardiomyopathy. We report probably the first case in which these two rare anomalies causing pump failure coexisted in a...

Left ventricle volume is a factor in determining the type of surgical treatment in patients with a hypoplastic left ventricle. The volume of the hypoplastic left ventricle can be measured by echocardiography and cardiac MRI. In an infant with congenital heart disease and a small left ventricle,...

Congenital cardiac aneurysms are extremely rare. The echocardiographic features of this condition have never been described. The authors report a case of giant congenital left ventricular aneurysm wherein the diagnosis was made by echocardiography and confirmed at cardiac catheterization. The...

The author offers a commentary on a study by G. Yang and colleagues on the case of congenital heart defect which features isolated superoinferior ventricles (SIV) with the left ventricle on top. The author believes that the case may help provide a clarification about the essence of SIV. He also...

The article presents a study to estimate the frequency of supraventricular arrhythmias among adult patients with congenital heart disease. A group of 1327 patients was analyzed, aged 18-27 years. In this group 26 different types of congenital heart diseases were diagnosed. Supraventricular...

The article focuses on congenitally corrected transposition of great vessels. More recently referred to by some as double discordance because of the discordant connections found at both the atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial junctions, congenitally corrected transposition is indeed a...

The combination of hypoplastic left heart syndrome and a right-sided aortic arch is extremely rare and lethal. To the best of our knowledge, no patient with this combination has previously been reported as surviving initial palliation. The anatomic variant is associated with abnormalities in the...

A bidirectional Glenn shunt (BGS) was successfully incorporated into a two-ventricle repair for 10 patients (age, 3â€“17 years) who had congenital heart disease associated with severe pulmonary outflow obstruction. The BGS was used to volume-unload the pulmonary ventricle faced with...
